Securing Your Next Rental in 2024

With the increasing number of people moving to our beautiful region, we want to simplify the process of finding and securing your next rental property. Here are some tips to help you get a head start on your 2024 property application:

• Property Inspection: To ensure you find the right fit, it’s important to inspect the property. You can do this through physical visits, virtual tours, or video inspections. Even if you can’t be present in person, you can rely on our virtual tour and photos to make an informed decision.
• Individual Applications: Remember, each intended occupant over the age of 18 should submit a separate and complete application. This ensures a thorough evaluation of each applicant.
• Identification Requirements: Make sure to upload all required points of identification, totalling 100 points, with items from different categories. For each applicant, at least one form of photo identification is necessary. You can easily scan and attach your documents or take clear photos for attachment. A comprehensive list of acceptable documents can be found on our website and to apply for any of our listings go to www.tenantoptions.com.au
• References: The speed of processing your application often hinges on how quickly we can verify your professional and previous rental references. You can expedite this process by informing your management or the leader of your place of employment. Additionally, having a rental ledger available for upload is advisable.
• Property Ownership: If you’ve recently sold a home or own another property, including your council rates notice can strengthen your application. Furthermore, you can use your selling agent as a rental referee to provide additional credibility.

We understand that finding the right rental property can be challenging, especially when you’re new to the area or have scheduling constraints. Our goal is to make this process as straightforward as possible to help you secure your next home. If you have any further questions or need assistance with your application, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We hope to be able to help you make your next move a success.

The Fraser Coast is my stomping ground! I love the familiarity, lifelong friends and lifestyle that goes with it. My favourite happy place is anywhere with my husband, Shane, and our two daughters, Isabelle and Sienna. Apart from my family, property management, rent roll growth, mentoring and living the Hervey Bay lifestyle are my greatest passions. I started out in the local real estate scene in 2002 and established Active Agents in 2019. You will find me direct and social with a (wickedly) weird sense of humour and a constant need to be busy. I love challenges that involve talking, learning and, well, people. I’m a people person you see, and helping others is at the core of my motivation. I aspire to share with others through leadership and build on the profession of our industry and clients while offering a workplace that our team loves coming to everyday. I am a driver. I drive ideas, procedures, structure, change, actions, visions, goals, dreams .. well, anything I can really. I like to see things run smoothly and consider myself the master time-efficiency expert. I love the variety of my role here at Active Agents which includes new business, business and office management and property management. My passions within these fields are marketing, business and strategic acumen, and development.
